The Coffee Red Mealybug, Nipaecoccus coffeae (Hempel) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), an uncommon mealybug attacking coffee plants in Brazil

Abstract: Abstract:The Coffee Red Mealybug, Nipaecoccus coffeae (Hempel, 1919), was rediscovered in coffee crops in Brazil. Some brief recognition characters are provided to separate this mealybug from other species of the genus present in Brazil. It appears to be a rather uncommon parasite of coffee plants and is considered a secondary pest. This species is recorded for the first time in the State of Minas Gerais widening its distribution area. A predaceous hoverfly larva, Ocyptamus stenogaster (Williston, 1888), was a… Show more

“…Algunas especies pueden minar hojas y tallos vegetales y otras son depredadoras de diversos artrópodos (Rotheray y Gilbert 1999). Por otra parte, las larvas de Syrphinae son depredadoras de áfidos, escamas, larvas de otros insectos y/o trips (Rojo et al 2003, López et al 2012, Prado et al 2015, Colmenárez et al 2016, mientras que unas pocas especies se desarrollan secundariamente como minadoras de plantas (Nishida et al 2002, Mengual et al 2008, Weng y Rotheray 2008, Reemer y Rotheray 2009). Las larvas de Pipizinae son depredadoras, como la subfamilia Syrphinae, pero tienen preferencias por áfidos que excretan cera, áfidos que atacan raíces y otros hemípteros formadores de agallas, por ejemplo miembros de las familias Pemphigidae, Psyllidae, Phylloxeridae y Adelgidae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) (Rojo et al 2003, Mengual et al 2015.…”
